R(0, 9) and S(4, 5) are the endpoints of a line segment. What is the midpoint M of that line segment?

Write the coordinates as decimals or integers.

M = (
,
)

Respuesta :

M = ( 2, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

formula to find mindpoint is

[tex](\frac{x2 + x1}{2} \frac{y2 + y1}{2} )[/tex]

(0,9) = (x1, y1)

(4,5) = (x2,y2)

now substitute those into the formula!

[tex](\frac{4 + 0 }{2} \frac{5 + 9}{2} )[/tex]

now solve for x & y !!

[tex]x = \frac{4 + 0}{2} = \frac{4}{2 } = 2[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{5 + 9}{2} = \frac{14}{2} = 7[/tex]

so now that we have solved for x & y put it in point form and your done !!

  • point for is (x,y)

and thanks why the Midpoint is (2,7)
